Gardner Spring 36024G Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36024G is a precision compression spring manufactured from music wire to AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards. It features a closed and ground end type, an outside diameter of 0.24 inches, a wire diameter of 0.022 inches, and a free length of 0.375 inches. The spring delivers a rate of 12 pounds per inch with a maximum working load of 3.25 pounds. Its compact form factor and consistent performance make it well suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies, instrumentation, and industrial components where repeatable spring force and dimensional precision are required.

This compression spring is used in a broad range of light mechanical, instrumentation, and trade-supply applications. Its 0.25-inch hole diameter fit and 0.111-inch solid height suit tight-clearance installations common in valve assemblies, HVAC actuators, plumbing components, and precision mechanical devices. The plain silver finish indicates no added coating, which is appropriate for dry indoor environments or assemblies where surface treatments are applied downstream. Installation typically occurs during OEM assembly or field repair of equipment requiring small-format compression elements.

Key Features

• Closed and ground ends for flat, stable seating on contact surfaces
• Music wire construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards
• 12 pounds per inch spring rate for consistent, predictable load response
• 3.25-pound maximum working load in a compact 0.375-inch free length
• 0.24-inch outside diameter fits a 0.25-inch hole diameter for controlled lateral positioning
• Plain finish with silver color - no coating to affect dimensional tolerance

Compatibility

Designed as a precision OEM-style compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.24-inch outside diameter, 0.022-inch wire diameter, and 0.375-inch free length in music wire construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians, HVAC service professionals, or plumbing and equipment repair specialists. Power down or depressurize the host assembly before replacing internal spring components. Verify seating surface flatness before installing; closed and ground ends require flush contact to deliver rated load performance. Do not stretch or pre-compress the spring beyond its rated solid height of 0.111 inches during installation.
